More Than That

Chapter 49

"I'm not doing that, Fred."

"Why not?" he asked, apparently genuinely offended.

Sage rolled her eyes. "So many reasons. Firstly, we are going with your siblings. That would be weird. It was just us last time."

Fred opened his mouth to argue but Sage stopped him and continued herself. "Second, I was wearing a dress last time which is why I thought it would be hot. I'm not going commando in jeans to dinner."

Fred huffed and pouted, just like how he always did when he didn't get his way. "Will you at least wear a sexy pair of underwear underneath?".

Sage sighed and walked over to where Fred was sitting on the foot of the bed, stepping in between his open legs. "Fine. I don't know why the hell you want me to so badly, but fine." She bent down to give him a quick kiss on the forehead.

He beamed up at her when she pulled away. "Thank you."

She rolled her eyes again but with more fondness this time. "I need to go get ready. Should I come to meet you back here when I'm done or should I just head over with the girls?".

Fred scoffed. "Come back here first. How is that even a question?".

Sage laughed and started to head out the door. "Okay, see you later big boy."

The door was already shut behind her when the pillow he threw hit it.

The girls all got ready together in Sage and Hermione's room, countless compliments flying around the room as they chose their outfits. They did their hair and makeup together in the bathroom, Hermione braiding hers and Ginny's to match (which was just way too cute), Luna leaving hers in that intricate style that Sage didn't know how she managed, and Sage curling hers so that it held a natural wave.

Hermione and Ginny had invited Luna to get ready with them at some point during the day, wanting to have a little fun with just the girls before they went out, and Sage was glad that they did.

Sage was happy that they all got along and fit together so well; if their current relationships progressed as they had been throughout the year, the girls would probably be seeing a lot of each other in the future. Luna, Hermione, and Sage were all dating Weasley's after all.

Sage could just imagine it - holidays and get-togethers and camping trips with their little group. She could imagine more things too, but thinking about them all having babies together was probably a bit premature. She just hoped that no one broke up; being able to turn everything into a Weasley-filled triple date sounded much too fun.

"Okay, is everyone ready?" Hermione asked, standing by the door with her purse slung over her shoulder.

"Yup," Ginny said, popping the P, and walked over to entwine her arm in Hermione's.

"Yeah, coming," Sage said and slid her last earring into her ear before leaving the bathroom, Luna following her soon after. "I told Fred I'd meet up with him first, but oh well."

Ginny snorted. "Merlin, that boy is obsessed with you," she said as they left the room.

Sage huffed and lightly smacked her on the arm. "He is not."

Ginny huffed out a laugh, the 'you're dumb' strongly implied through the noise. "You're not the one who has to sit through hearing about you all the goddamn time."

Hermione chuckled a bit. "It's true, I've been there for a few conversations."

Ginny groaned. "Like, you're great and all, Sage. You know I know that. But I don't need to hear about it all the time." She then stood up taller, putting on a swooning face that was supposed to mock Fred and started to imitate him. "Oh, Sage is so beautiful. Have you ever noticed? I think she might actually be part veela and is just hiding it from us. No one's that perfect."
